shiite Dude. If you can hike and hold your own, I’d go.
The room at the hotel this time of year ought to be pretty cheap and we can eat on the cheap.
The inn across the street from the hotel has an awesome restaurant. I took a friend who was one of the premier chefs there once and she raved about the place.
I guess the chef at the inn was pretty well known and he had called the corporate life quits for a while(I forget the guy but, we ran into him at some restaurant in Vegas a few years ago). Anyway, this guy was into sustainability and I think fancied himself as getting in Thomas Keller’s vision.
Nothing, on the plate came off a truck. Oh, he might have gone up the road to another garden to get what he wanted if he didn’t have enough but, he knew where the food came from and how it was grown.
Anyway, this is the room I use to stay in. It’s on the second floor and view out back is phenomenal in the morning:

I’ll bet it can be had for less than the $215 they are currently posting it for.
If’n you gotz a gurlfriend and want to make one hell of an impression, this is the place.
I wouldn’t go to the Timber Cove 1st(http://www.timbercoveinn.com/ ), which is up the road. I love the place but, many women get weirded out after a while from the racoons.
Sure, they are real cute at first and stupidly, they will toss the critters bits of bread or fruit but, then they won’t go away from your balcony, making it unusable.
No, if I were to take a lady somewhere, Olema is the place and we can do my hike or take a slow meandering drive to the Timber Line for lunch or even dinner.
But, heh, we’re guys.
If we go you get the bed, I take the floor or sleep outside on the balcony, which I paid good money to do a couple of times. It’s like camping without the tent and no worry a mountain lion is sneaking around.
I stayed at the Timber Cove for a night a couple years ago. Pretty and fairly secluded. I think it was about .5 hours north of Bodega Bay. I don’t remember any racoons.
